20% more production this year, so hopefully there is enough to go around. Hoping I can get at least 6 LPV and 3 of each Pellet and Kenefick. Maybe ill add some SB too, but that’s already available to order.
Order in, Las Piedras at $125 works for me. Never tried Quivet, but have been a constituent of Carter La Verdad. Is Mike making these similar or do they have a different style?
I’d say the quivet LPV isn’t as big and extracted as Carter. Both fine wines but I can taste more of the minerality with the quivets. I’ve heard 18s aren’t quite as big of wines as 16s so that will also play a role. For $125 a bottle is is incredibly hard to beat from a QPR perspective.
I’d agree with this description. Quivet is a bit more mineral driven as compared to the Myriads, which tend to lead with ripe fruit and mocha tones, whereas the Carters are perhaps even more rich and voluptuous. Broad strokes of course, but that’s how they often feel to me.
Haven’t tried any 2018s, but with greater yields, that also makes sense
